Abstract:
Patients often present after trauma with symptoms of vision loss or loss of a field of vision from a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). This study aims to equip the health care provider with knowledge on the recognition, evaluation, and management of RRD to improve communication between the patient and consultant. The article highlights the symptoms, signs (including ophthalmoscopic findings), and pathogenesis of RRD. Causes and presentations of RRD are considered. Treatment paradigms are discussed and surgical options for treatment of RRDs are reviewed, including pneumatic retinopexy, pars plana vitrectomy, and scleral buckle surgery.
